The tasting highlighted the new Munson Wine Trail, a designation for a group of wineries located in the far north suburbs of Allen, Frisco, Prosper, Princeton, Rockwall, Ivanhoe, and Whitewright -- many of which have been founded in only the past few years.
The festival featured artists, dancers, food vendors, and kid activities, and jazz acts including the Cow Town Jazz Orchestra, Dan Cavanagh Trio, Set Apart, and the UT Arlington jazz Combo.
The setup was unique: Rather than the usual rows of tents with artists and crafts people, McKinney’s downtown businesses participated. Festivalgoers cruised in and out of the gift and antique shops, while restaurants such as the Londoner and the Spoon Cafe set up tables outside.

The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed. "Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.
